Not sure if this is really ontopic here, but I don't know what would be a better place to post this. I'm having trouble getting NVrec to work. It just doesn't work at all, not capturing a single frame and requiring a kill -9 to end it (The example below uses DIVX4rec, but I have tried all other NVrec programs too, they show exactly the same behaviour except DIVXrec (this one just crashes, but I have the 0.6 version of avifile installed, so not really surprising)).

There is no cpu load at all while those errors appear. This is on a a7v133 with an athlon xp, using kernel 2.4.16 (have tried it with 2.4.14 too). I've tried the kernel version of bttv (0.7.83) and 0.7.85 and I even patched the kernel and tried the new version 0.8.31 - didn't change anything. Watching tv (overlay and grabdisplay mode) with xawtv works fine, even recording using xawtv works fine. I got it to work however on another board (bx chipset, celeron566@850) using a very similar software configuration (same kernel, same bttv versions) so I really don't know what's going wrong. Thanks for your help Roland
Could you please send me a pre-compiled binary (to me personally, not the list!) - I think it may be a compiler issue, miscompiling the various volatile structure manipulations...
